The Dragon Behind the Glass: A True Story of Power, Obsession and the World’s Most Coveted Fish
By Emily Voigt
At the center of international intrigue, the shimmering arowana is a predator “the length of a samurai sword.” It’s the most expensive tropical fish in the world — and one of the most endangered. With the taut suspense of a spy novel, Voigt paints a vivid world of murder, black market deals and habitat destruction surrounding a fish that’s considered, ironically, to be a good-luck charm.
